Among the harridans and hard-timers in a women's prison, one inmate stands out like a diamond in a box of tarnished costume jewelry. She's Mary Turner, convicted of a crime she didn't commit. Once an innocent shop girl, now embittered by three years in the pen, Mary has big plans after her release. First she'll make a fortune running scams that stay just within the law. Then she'll seek revenge on the man who put her behind bars by marrying his guileless son. Joan Crawford got one of her...

Fred MacMurray and Joan Crawford are American honeymooners in pre-war Europe who are asked by British intelligence to help track down a missing agent.

"You've changed my mind for me so often it's a miracle I've got one left." Attorney Stephen Holland (Herbert Marshall) has had it with manipulative, disdainful wife Cynthia (Mary Astor) arranging his life like a windup toy -- to the point that he storms out of his unhappy home and straight to divorce court. After the blistering break, he meets and marries Maris Kent (Virginia Bruce), whose love for him is as self-sacrificing as his ex-spouse's was smothering. But the newlyweds, unwisely moving...

The roughest of Alaska's oil-rig roughnecks, Forrest Taft (Steven Seagal, also making his directorial debut) specializes in fighting oil-well fires. Yet he faces an even more incendiary battle against renegade Aegis Oil president Michael Jennings (Michael Caine). Aegis has put profits over environmental safety. And that puts Taft, a Native Alaskan activist (Joan Chen) and anyone else opposing the company on its hit list. But Taft hits back, using the martial arts, survival and explosives...

In 1866, new fighting units are formed within the U.S. Cavalry: the courageous 9th and 10th regiments. Plains Indians call them Buffalo Soldiers because of the bison coats they wear in winter. History, judging from the regiments' list of Medal of Honor winners, calls them heroes. Against this backdrop, legendary director John Ford crafts the story of Sergeant Rutledge (Woody Strode), a 9th Cavalry officer on trial for rape and murder. Lt. Cantrell (Jeffrey Hunter) defends Rutledge as witnesses...

Fish or lamb chops? A wrong dinner selection gives food poisoning to the pilot and first officer of Flight 714 -- and that could mean doom for everyone aboard in Zero Hour!, the high-flying film based on a story by Arthur Hailey (Airport, Hotel) and later spoofed in the comedy Airplane!. Dana Andrews portrays the passenger who must overcome the trauma of his wartime experiences to guide the plane. His reaction when asked if he can fly the DC-4: "No. Not a chance." Sterling Hayden plays the...

It's 1950. Maj. Jefferson Pike is in an Allied military hospital, under the care of an American doctor. Pike is an amnesiac, and if he could recount the details of D-Day, his last memory, perhaps it would unlock his mind. Only it's really 1944, and Pike is deep in German territory in a faux hospital built just for him. James Garner does a heroic star turn as increasingly suspicious Pike, and Rod Taylor makes a canny opponent as the duplicitous Doktor in a tense cat-and-mouse, twist-filled...

Stephen is a hard-working mine operator. Ruth is a fast-living party girl, the daughter of his deceased partner. Partly out of obligation to his partner and partly out of a growing attraction for Ruth, Stephen decides to set her straight by whisking her away for a sort of wilderness boot camp. The lesson takes, love blooms. But now there's a $10,000 price on his head for kidnapping. There's also another woman in his life -- she claims Stephen is hers. There've been at least four film...

"My ultimate vamp came in The Squall," Myrna Loy noted about the string of exotic mantraps she portrayed before The Thin Man made her film's savviest, sexiest perfect wife. Here she is Nubi, a flashing-eyed Gypsy who insinuates herself into the household of prosperous farmer Josef Lajos (Richard Tucker). Just for the wicked fun of it, Nubi seduces her way up the chain of power, from servant to Lajos's son to Lajos himself, sowing jealousy and conflict in a once-tranquil home. As directed by...

The men of New Zealand march off to war, leaving behind cities and villages filled with women and loneliness. In time, new men come ashore: U.S. Marines facing uncertain futures in Pacific battles yet to come. And new loves -- tender or tragic, transitory or lasting -- begin to flower. A constellation of actresses shines in a bittersweet James A. Michener story of sisters (Jean Simmons, Joan Fontaine, Piper Laurie and Sandra Dee) embracing love in a time of war, but it's the sensitive romance...

Mrs. Brown has a long snout, skinny legs and an owner! That's right, Mrs. Brown is a dog, a greyhound to be precise, and Herman (Peter Noone) and the other Manchester boys are eager to make money racing her. But first there's a matter of entry fees, so the guys play gigs to raise some cash. When they enter the London dog-racing world, Herman meets a human Mrs. Brown who happens to have a knockout of a lovely daughter. Is she the right girl for him? The pop quintet that charted eleven Top-10...

The career of the British Invasion pop group Herman's Hermits was in full, fan-shrieking, disc-selling orbit when their first top-billed movie came to theaters, so maybe it's only natural to think NASA would want to name a rocket after them. Well, at least that's what's at stake in this 1966 romp that has the five lads on a U.S. tour, where they're mobbed by various birds -- and secretly monitored by a nerdy scientist to determine if they are rocket worthy. Yes, Hold On! is not so much about...
